The article finds that 84% of those polled were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with living in the city, while only 4% were “dissatisfied,” yet it also mentions the following:

“The survey did find some unhappiness among the 1,005 adults who were questioned (they were chosen at random and interviewed by telephone between Sept. 29 and Oct. 6). Almost 40 percent of Bronx residents surveyed, and almost a quarter of those from Queens and Brooklyn, said they would move out of the city if they could.”

“You know what the greatest city in the world is?” Bloomberg asked reporters. “Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s clean, it’s not too big, it’s got a couple streets with shops and restaurants, and the people there aren’t fucking insane. This place is fucking insane. And by the way, that’s not a reason to like it. Anyone who says that is a delusional dirtbag.”

New York City is still the greatest city in the world, because the New York Times says so.
